How to Create a Runner’s Starter Kit

September 8, 2013

A few weeks ago my mom mentioned that she wanted to start running a little more. I suggested she sign up for the Baltimore 5k (same day as Baltimore Marathon) and I offered to make her a training plan. For her birthday gift, I put together a “Runner’s Starter Kit”.

I included in the kit:

a Dri-fit T-shirt from Target

-running socks

-arm band for I-phone

-headphones

-Runners World magazine

-Balance Bars

-small Vaseline for possible chafing issues 🙂

Here are some other ideas that could be good for a similar gift but I either knew my mom didn’t need them or could not find them in time:

I was pretty excited that the weather started to get cooler this week, and by Friday I was able to wear my hair in a pony tail without it balling up into a huge knot:

I tried to wear it in a braid on Saturday, but that was a fail. All summer the only way I had a chance of keeping it manageable was by tying it into some sort of bun, which I don’t like doing because they tend to fall out. The weekend weather was ok but still pretty warm/humid.
